(Introduction to GeographicInformation System)(Project Proposal)(Forecast and Real-time damage assessment for natural disaster usinggeospatial techniques)
Problem Definition: This study will provide an overview of how remote sensing and geospatial technologies can be used in the management of natural disasters. The focus is on approaches to improve our understanding to the built environment and its vulnerability to natural hazards, and on methods to better assess the impact of large natural disasters on urban areas. The study will accumulate the trend of natural disasters for past 50 years to forecast future trends of disaster that might occur and calculating the impact over the study area . Furthermore a real time damage assessment tool will be developed to calculate the affect over infrastructure and livelihood where relief can be provided. This study will help in providing forewarning for the major affected people and will help in damage assessment caused by natural disaster which can further help government forpolicy formation and taking up measures beforehand. Objectives:To develop an inventory for calamities occurred in the study area and already existing critical infrastructure which act as rescue spots for people.To develop a trend on the basis of last 50 years disaster data in region which can help in forecasting for future assessment using geostatisical techniques.To develop a tool for Real-time damage detection tool for natural disaster which initiates the response process, providing the information needed to: a) Prioritize relief effortsb) Direct first responders to critical locations, thereby optimizing response times c) Compute initial loss estimatesd) Determine whether the situation warrants national or international aid. Data requirements:Topographic Map- 1:50,000 scaleCadastral MapNatural Disaster occurrence data for Past 50 yearsPast Satellite Data- Sentinal 2 , LandsatReal Time Imagery – Google EarthArcMap Software Package ArcGIS API Package with Open Source GeoEvent ServerSources:1. Australian Government Website – data,gov.au2. Google Earth3. Disaster Assist , Australian Government Initiative https://www.disasterassist.gov.au/Pages/australian-disasters.aspx4. Earth Explorer USGSProcess:Defining Study Area: A basic layout map of the study area will be defined and constructed using ArcMap with the help of topographic map. The topographic map will be imposed and main features will be digitized to make a map. The Important infrastructures and area will be digitized out of cadastral maps to make base layer of all the map and analysis.
